Former GR student advances in medical program

Nineteen medical students from across Wyoming, attending the University of Washington School of Medicine at the University of Wyoming, are moving on to the clinical phase of their education. Among those students is JayCee Mikesell, a second-year medical student from Green River.

The students are all part of WWAMI, a partnership between the UW School of Medicine and the states of Washington, Wyoming, Alaska, Montana and Idaho, to offer residents state-supported medical education with a goal to increase the physician workforce in these states.
